Ordinary is no place to be.

Thanks to my friend Angelos Frenztos I've been invited to take part into a weird project by Absolut Vodka.

If you log in you are involved into a cinema presentation and then you can watch a short movie by Spike Jonze.
(Spike Jonze is what I would call the right man in the right place, always. the no-failure-man)

The story is about a sad robot finding love.
I couldn't watch it till the end, to be honest, because I feel weak lately, and then overexposed to emotions.



I definitely had the sensation that it would have ended tragically.

I've always been fascinated by obscure and mythological creatures.





That's why I've always loved the creatures from the abyss, no not the movie
(if you haven't seen it, please do it. it's an amazing "horror" D movie:

The Kraken, a giant squid, is one of the most fascinating sea creatures.
In 1752, the Bishop of Bergen, Erik Ludvigsen Pontoppidan, wrote his Natural History of Norway and described the Kraken as a "floating island" one and a half miles across.
According to stories, this cephalopod could reach as high as the top of a sailing ship's main mast with its arms deployed, so when the Kraken attacked a ship, it wrapped its arms around the hull and capsize it.
The crew would drown or be eaten by the monster. Kraken were mostly noticed in the seas of Scandinavia. Fishermen said that huge amounts of fishs gravitate around Kraken and the boat that succeeds to fish around the monster without awaking it will take more than possible to carry aboard.



Another charming creature is Medusa, in Greek mythology a gorgon, a female monster, daughter of Phorcys and Ceto.
The three Gorgon sisters were daughters of ancient Sea Gods, Ceto and Phorcys. Two, Stheno and Eluryah were immortal, but the third, Medusa was not. She had been a female of absolute beauty, mostly her long, silky hair. She bragged at being more beautiful than the Goddess Athena, and one day, while in her temple, she was ravished by the Sea God Neptune. Athena was outraged by this and turned Medusa into the Gorgon she became famous for being. She turned her beautiful hair into snakes and let it be that she could no longer see the handsome men who came to court her, as they would instantly be turned to stone if they looked into her eyes





It sounds like the unlucky destiny of a sad princess.

what's wrong with me?

LOST FISH

Japanese black Goldfish lost.

Last seen at my house, a week ago, he was gently floating in his dirty water.

I went to my parents' and when I got back it was nomore in his bowl.

His friend, the yellow one, just said "No Comment" about the matter.

No seagulls nor cats use to attend my house.

If found, please contact me.

No reward at all.

W E I R D O g S

Funny dressed dogs have always been one of my passions.

I wonder if they realize looking ridiculous.

Anyway I find them absolutely hilarious.

(Here you can find some of my fav,

it has been difficult to make a selection)

Cousin Itt

Just a heap of people covering their faces with hair, wearing sunglasses. I would do it myself if my hair was longer.

vomiting phobia

Taking the public means is always a trouble, at least here, in Milan.

And it gets worst if you suffer from panic attacks and that shitty stuff.

As I do.

Then, when I move around in the city I often wonder what would happen if I feel bad on the tram, feeling close to faint or to vomit.

Well, today I got on the 43, the bus that takes me home from work. I was wearing my Ipod as usual with very high volume and I was sitting pretty close to the driver.

A woman got near to the coach and started talking with him, then

(I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHY) I slowed my music down.

Guess what I heard?

The lady was telling him that somebody had thrown up on the bus.

After several minutes where I was filled with dismay I realized that it can happen to feel sick on the bus.

And paradoxically I felt incredibly at ease.

VIVIENNE WESTWOOD Get a Life! Party

Wednesday, 14th April, Vivienne Westwood (where I work at), organized the Get a Life! Party, exclusively for the Design Week in Milan.

There, we have desplaied some products from Vivienne Westwood in collaboration with design brands, such as the SIGG reusable bottle, the Rug Company carpets which covered the building's windows and the Cole&Son wallpapers.

The Vivienne Westwood shop was incredibly crowded, thanks to a selection of the most important djs on the Milan's scenario, and to Skyy Vodka and Red Bull, which offered refreshments during the night.

Here you can find some pics of the event.

MY MANIFESTO - una presentazione poco convincente

Eccomi qui.

Molti di voi penseranno che dovrei presentarmi, ebbene si, forse dovrei, ma non lo farò. Le presentazioni sono sempre poco convincenti e annoiano il presentato quanto il presentatore e il presentiforme presentabile. Non amo ripetermi. Pertanto eviterò di apparire presenziante, non che la cosa vi prema particolarmente, starete commentando, e vi capisco.

Il secondo punto su cui mi tocca subito contraddirvi è il seguente: no, non credo voi dobbiate spendere il vostro tempo leggendo ciò che scrivo, anzi, sostengo che possiate impiegare il vostro tempo in attività decisamente più utili, quindi non sprecherò delle righe per motivarvi, tentando di convincervi a farlo.

Ora ve ne starete andando, maledicendomi.

Come darvi torto.

Tuttavia, vi consiglio di seguire le gesta del mio esimio collega Mauri Imi, corrispondente dalla città di Albione, forse lui riuscirà ad attrarre la vostra attenzione.

No, non amo James Joyce, e questo non è un flusso di coscienza.
